  • Xenon Headlights not working
  • Xenon Headlights flickering
  • Xenon Headlight warning indicator on dashboard

Peugeot 307 EGR Delete Service
EGR Removals

Peugeot 307 2.0HDi EGR Removal / EGR Delete Session

Peugeot 307 EGR Delete ServicePeugeot 307 EGR Removal / EGR Delete
The Peugeot 307 2.0HDI EGR Removals have proven to be very successful. We offer a completely bespoke EGR Delete session for both the 90Bhp and the 110Bhp models. We’ve seen a lot of interest in this service and many people have tried this before but with not much success.

We’ve seen from online reviews and DIY’s that people have tried to just Blank-Off the EGR valve and at first, experience some excellent gains..

  • More Power & Performance
  • +10mpg gains
  • Better Throttle Response

But soon after, they begin experiencing problems with the EGR Valve being blanked off..

  • Sluggish in low rpm
  • Down on power & a loss in mpg
  • Poor Throttle Response

Why does blanking the Peugeot 307 HDI EGR Valve system cause these negative effects?

If the EGR valve is blanked off, then no exhaust gasses will recirculate back to the intake manifold and into the engine. – However, the engine ECU does not know that you have blanked off the EGR Valve, so when the Engine ECU calculates how much diesel to inject on each cycle, it will be doing so with the EGR flow included in it’s calculations.

In order to properly remove the EGR valve and stop it recirculating exhaust gasses without the negative effects as described above, you will need to have the engine ECU remapped accordingly to tell the ECU that the EGR valve is to remain shut at all times. The engine ECU will then re-calculate the injection cycle to compensate for the EGR valve being closed and thus you will experience true benefits of having the EGR valve removed.

Common Peugeot 307 EGR Valve Problems

  • Loss Of Power
  • Smoke On Acceleration
  • Fluttering On Acceleration
  • Poor Fuel Economy
  • Hesitation & Missfire
  • EGR Flap Position Faults
  • EGR Related Fault Codes
  • Engine Management Light On
  • Limp Mode


Benefits Of Peugeot 307 EGR Delete

  • Increased Throttle Response
  • More Power & Better Performance
  • Gains of +10-15mpg in Fuel Economy
  • No More EGR Related Faults
  • No Need To Replace Or Repair – Ever!

We manually de-activate all EGR valves and offer a completely bespoke service with no need to fit blanking plates in the engine bay, no need to block off pipe work or physically remove or modify any parts in the engine bay. This process is completely reversible and completely safe. If you’re experiencing sticky EGR valves, faulty EGR valves or just fed up with having to keep paying expensive repair bills every time your local garage has to take it off and clean it for you – then our EGR Delete service will definitely put a stop to this.

All of our EGR Delete services are completely custom with our very own in-house solution. We do not need to take the ECU out of the vehicle and starting de-soldering chips. All our programming work is done right through the on-board diagnostic plug (OBDII) which makes it very quick, efficient and safe to do. Best of all, if ever you wanted the EGR to be turned on again, it is a very easy and completely reversible process.

Citroen C5 2.0 / 2.2 HDI EGR Removal / EGR Delete

Citroen C5 HDi EGR Delete / EGR RemovalCitroen C5 EGR Removal / EGR Delete
We now offer EGR Removal services for the Citroen C5 2.0HDI and 2.2HDI, both the 110bhp and 133bhp models. Our EGR removal service is not just blanking the EGR pipes whilst the on-board ECU continues to believe the EGR is doing it’s job and then deleting the error lights.. we offer a complete EGR De-Activation service.

We are able to switch off the EGR system, completely de-activating the EGR and by doing so – there is no need to fit blanking plates to the EGR pipes because the valve will always remain 100% closed. This EGR Delete is our very own in-house solution.

Common Citroen C5 EGR Valve Problems

  • Loss Of Power
  • Smoke On Acceleration
  • Fluttering On Acceleration
  • Missfire
  • EGR Flap Position Sensor Faults

Sometimes you can remove the EGR valve and clean it – this can cure some faults and the EGR will start to work again, however, you need to ask yourself why the EGR got so clogged up in the first place. Was there a lot of oil sludge on the EGR valve or just carbon build up? – If there was a lot of oil sludge, then chances are your turbocharger is leaking oil and so it will be an on-going problem.

Instead of continuously paying out to have the EGR valve cleaned or even expensive replacements, why not consider de-activating the EGR system completely.. there are a lot of added benefits in doing so.

Benefits Of Citroen C5 EGR Delete

  • More Power
  • Better Throttle Response
  • Increased Fuel Economy
  • No More EGR Faults
  • No Need To Replace Or Repair – Ever!

Our EGR Deletes are completely reversible and invisible, there are no mechanical bits to fit or remove. No need to fit custom EGR blanking plates, no need to remove the system and block pipes off. Everything will stay as it is, because it is all electronically controlled – we can switch off the complete EGR Valve system directly through the ECU with our very own in-house solution.

All of our EGR Delete solutions come with our lifetime software warranty and are completely reversible. For more information, please call us on 0203 815 9441 or email us today.
